Pickle brine

Lag från gurkburken

The jar you were going to pour away

You need
  • The brine from a jar of dill pickles
  • Chicken thighs, boned

It is already a brine. Salt, vinegar, dill and garlic in roughly the proportions somebody would arrive at deliberately. There is nothing to add and no reason to dilute it.

Four hours on boned thighs, and not longer. It is more acidic than a brine you would mix yourself, and overnight the texture goes chalky.

In the fridge, and the brine goes down the sink afterwards rather than back in the jar.Livsmedelsverket
